Last Spring I photographed the Cherry Blossoms in DC for the very first time, and to be honest, I really didn't like most of my shots. It was so crowded on the day that we visited, which made it really difficult to properly compose an image, much less take one without a ton of people... Continue Reading →
Pictures at an Exhibition- What Motivates You?
While hosting a shift at Harford Artists' Gallery a few months ago, I was asked if I would be submitting any photographs for the Fall Juried Exhibition? At the time I had no idea what that was, but I was definitely intrigued. (You see, if you are a member of the HAA, you are allowed... Continue Reading →
Concord Point Lighthouse in May
I grew up right down the street from this Lighthouse and used to walk to it all the time as a kid. The surrounding landscape and huge promenade that sits adjacent to it today had not even been thought of back then, but still to me, it was just as beautiful. There are a thousand...

William Paca House and Garden
If you ever venture to downtown Annapolis, you must visit this breathtaking two acre estate and garden. The garden is divided into a formal section closer to the residence, and the "wilderness" is near the back of the property, which is where I captured this image of the summer house. William Paca was a signer of... Continue Reading →
Sunrise at Haleakala
In order to capture this photograph my husband and I had to travel up 10,023 feet to the tallest peak of Haleakalā, which means "House of the Sun." This inactive volcano forms more than 75% of the Hawaiian Island of Maui, and watching the sunrise from Haleakala National Park is considered a once in a lifetime... Continue Reading →
Stone Stacking in Maui
I took this photograph lying on my stomach, on a beautiful summer night from a beach in Waliea, Maui. My husband and I happened to catch a breathtaking pink sky sunset while sitting on the lawn, when I quickly took off barefoot to capture as many images as I could! (After all, photographers live...

Concord Point Lighthouse in Black & White
I photographed this image at Concord Point Lighthouse in Havre de Grace, MD on a cold winter day in January. I decided to edit it in Black and White because I felt that it captured the mood perfectly, and the bare trees were an ideal frame for the lighthouse behind them. My settings were: F11,...

Waterfall in Maui
This long exposure image of a waterfall in Maui is probably one of my favorite images that I have taken to date. I had to hike up a mountainside in July to get it, and I did not have a tripod so I had to use a railing as a make-shift one. It took a... Continue Reading →
Yellow Hibiscus- Maui
Did you know that the yellow Hibiscus is the State flower of Hawaii? I was fortunate enough to photograph this beauty in Maui while visiting for my 20 year wedding anniversary in July of 2018. I found it near a road side stand where we had lunch on the road to Hana. I used my... Continue Reading →
Sailboat in St. Michael’s Maryland
I captured this image in the fall of 2017 in beautiful St. Michael's Maryland. Growing up on the Chesapeake Bay ensured that I would be captivated by the element of water my entire life. The moody sky and the reflections in the water in this shot makes my heart sing! I shot it using... Continue Reading →
Liriodendron Mansion, Bel Air MD
The Liriodendron Mansion was the historic home and estate of Dr. Howard Kelly, his wife and nine children built in the 1890's. Currently it is used for weddings, conferences, events and as an arts facility. Liriodendron (leer-ee-o-dendron) is the botanical name for the tulip poplar, many of which can be found around the grounds of... Continue Reading →
Sunrise at Concord Point Lighthouse- MD
I photographed this image at the request of a charity auction who wanted a photograph that would interest a wide number of people from Maryland. I could not think of a better subject than Concord Point Lighthouse. Ironically I grew up just a few blocks from here, and the lighthouse served as a symbol... Continue Reading →
Maui Sunset
This photograph is my favorite image that I have ever taken. Marriott hotels even asked for my permission to use it on Social Media. It was the first photograph that I ever displayed in a gallery as well. It is my baby, and I am a proud Mama. Every photographer has one special shot... Continue Reading →
Welcome to Lisa Braun Photography! Although I have been a life-long lover of the arts, I began my photography journey shortly after moving to Cape Cod in 2009. Currently, I reside in Harford County Maryland near the Chesapeake Bay, but I was truly inspired by all of the beautiful landscapes, beaches, sunrises and sunsets while... Continue Reading →
